Try taking Seroquel 25 or 50mg. It is prescribed off label in low doses as a sleep aid. It will turn off your racing mind and allow you to get the best sleep you have ever had.

No the order was sent and received by IB at 10:01. If I was filled at 10:01 and for whatever reason they delayed sending it till 10:38, shouldn't it say that I was filled at 10:01? Because it doesn't. Nothing in the audit trail shows that the order was filled 2 seconds after it was placed as...

If I was filled 2 seconds after my limit order was placed, shouldn't that show up eventually in the audit trail? The filled execution report shows both the sending time and the transact time are the same; 37 minutes after the order was placed.

The only reason that I mentioned the other short (that I was already short during the 10:38- 10:39am period) was to explain how and why the trade in question was closed-- i.e it was liquidated at 1.2417 because both shorts together required too much margin. I guess it wasn't really necessary to...

Of course I saw the price go lower than the my limit order. The price had spiked up and was coming down. I clicked to go short at 1.24785, I didn't get filled and the price continued to drop so I dragged the order to 1.24735. I still missed getting filled and the price continued to fall. I...

Just to keep everyone updated IBj sent me a PM late yesterday afternoon saying that he had just got back in the office and would look into the matter soon.

I had a stop loss @1.24855, 12 pips from the limit order. The request to cancel the stop was sent at the same time as the request to cancel the limit order. The audit trail shows that the the stop took 1 second to cancel but the cancel request for the limit order was never confirmed and then...

A whiner? I thought I started a thread, made one comment, and answered two questions.

Alright, after spending several hours looking at the audit trail (most of the time was spent figuring out how to read it) here is the deal: - at 10:01:31 I put in a limit order to sell the EUR/USD at 1.24785 -at 10:01:31 the order was acknowledged -at 10:01:33 I dragged the order down...

I don't remember about the color but since the order disappeared and everything including the account window showed I was flat, I assumed it was canceled. I'll update everyone in a few hours after I study the audit trail.

Good Ideas. I'm printing out the audit trail now...It's 137 pages long. :eek:

This morning at 10:01, I put in a limit order to short the EUR/USD @ 1.2474 on IdealPro. Then I decided that was a bad idea and I canceled the order. Everything showed that the order was canceled successfully an I did not get filled. By everything, I mean the order on the main window showed...
